Resources

Here you will find a wide range of open access research about the documentary film industry in the UK and internationally, alongside resources specific to DFC governance.

This research has been created by DFC members and partner organisations in the UK and all over the world. We encourage users to find out more about the amazing people and organisations doing this work. If you come across anything you think should be here but isn’t – be it a publication, a database, a website resource – please let us know.
